Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Honestly, this is a huge step forward. I know it sounds dumb, but regulating the crypto market as securities will help provide stability to crypto and help classic securities become more adaptable. I’ve been waiting since day 1 for the SEC to step in here.
It’s small-minded, it’s petty, and it’s not classically presidential by any possible stretch of the imagination. It’s also funny as heck.
Our world has descended so far that parody is no longer effective.
In the minority party.
You’re a natural, sis!
Well, it’ll be fun to see how this plays out.
Spoiler: It’s always worth it. average Americans, like the President, always blink first.
Why is that a disappointment? We’ve made it perfectly clear that we don’t have allies - we have people who steal from us. And if you’re anti-American, that means more American goods stay in our borders.
So LLMs operate like blind people - like every other web scraper and chatbot to exist.
Anyone who’s a fan of mecha anime or games already knew this. The human body is a comedy of errors masquerading as a marvel of bioengineering. We’re just fish who forgot how to swim and learned how about economics.
The comments about junk mail were referring to my wishful thinking that we could reduce 80% of the domestic landfill fodder.
You as a person don’t need direct representation, usually (though having a lawyer ready us always a benefit). The only way to stop the social media companies from extracting value and facilitating harmful criminal behavior is to stop their actions completely. Yes, that affects people. Yes, that means people won’t be able to use an online service. But if all social media went away tomorrow, the only one I’d actually miss would be YouTube.
Fediverse instances have a different structure, and what should happen is that the owner of each instance that wants to operate in Nepal should register with the government, and only federate with those who are also registered. Otherwise, you’ve lost out on a country that barely us a blip on the Internet radar, with the exception of rich, entitled, jerks ruining Everest and adding to the colossal body count.
No matter what, it’s not worth dying for. Protesting in favor of big companies is dumb from the start. Protesting in favor of niche platforms is dumb. Don’t risk your life for anything but life-and-death situations.
Agreed, but I also can’t believe how quick some people are to provoke the government into action like that. It’s going to sound cold, but there’s no social media company I’d protest for, and I certainly wouldn’t be there if I thought it would provoke a violent response.
They’re not banning all forms of social media. They’re trying to stop fraud crimes and they’re demanding a guaranteed human being who will be the liaison for criminal investigations.
Even if you see nefarious purposes behind that, it’s not worth your life.
Ongoing development of mbin and attention to the platform as a whole. His lack of overt politics compared to the Lemmy devs also makes me happier. Plus, as an admin, he’s mostly hands-off in my n experience, certainly not a micromanaging mod.
I wish I had your sense of unbridled optimism.
I honestly look forward to full privatization and removing their pension from congressional control. I don’t know about the system in your area, but we still have branded trucks in the area, so maybe that varies on state.
Hurray, less landfill fodder. Now let’s reduce domestic mail the same way.
Time to bring in the scabs.
So what you’re saying is, mine deeper, dig up more wells, and frack 'til the planet cracks? Because seriously, if we can’t turn back, we need to lean in and go with it.
I understand where you’re coming from, but that means they care about making sure that the number goes up, rather than fluctuating wildly. And they absolutely don’t want rugpulls (unless they’re the ones holding the rug). That’s the kind of stability I’m talking about. No tycoon actually wants a free market, they want the regulations to make sure that they have a chance to corner the market and protect them against their enemies.
